I do not agree that calling a woman a "b itch" is necessarily anti-woman. Plenty of women (even aggressive feminists) call other women b itches. I don't know any Jews who call other Jews "kikes," though.

As for Al Campanis, his remarks were grossly misconstrued, but he should have known that whenever the question involves race, one must respond with canned, politically correct platitudes. The only reason a reporter ever asks anyone about racial matters is to evoke a controversial response. Campanis, who was instrumental in getting Jackie Robinson into MLB, fell into the trap.

The Left likes to place Hitler, an anti-Communist authoritarian, on the Right, and that's what's taught in our schools. But as many historians have pointed out, Adolf Hitler was a man of the Left through and through, even though he battled other Leftists. (There is certainly anti-Semitism on the Right, though.)
